This species produces 1-3 scapes per plant. Inflorescences are 10โ23 cm long and produce pink to white flowers that bloom year-round in their native range. S. eriorhizum is endemic to Queensland, where it is widespread from Atherton in the north to Barakula State Forest near Chinchilla in the south. Its typical habitat has been reported as sandy soils in woodlands or heathlands.[1] See alsoReferences
